"Long time no see, Alyssa—though I want to say so..." Out of the corner of Ike's eye, he glanced at Alyssa, who was in a state of surprise, and then at the phantom beast in front of him that had been injured and began to go berserk, "Where did you recruit such a monster?" ”

"I—How do I know!" Alyssa, who had recovered from her surprise, blushed and exclaimed, "We are also troubled by the sudden appearance of him in front of us!" ”

"All in all, it's not time to catch up." The magic sword in Ike's hand was raised, and the original crimson sword body turned black at the moment, in addition to the fighting spirit being restrained, a cold light flashed through the reflection of the sun, looking at Lixia and Ling who came from behind, and turned slightly to look at Alyssa and Miriam behind him, "The actual combat skills I gave you in class, you shouldn't have forgotten it, right?" As an exam for reunion after a long absence, let me take a good look at the growth of the two of you. ”

"Yes!"

Although it is a phantom beast, after Ike unexpectedly cut off one of its legs, it can't support its huge body with just the remaining three legs, and it should be said that the body structure of the phantom beast itself is not suitable for the laws of this world at all. Although his strength has increased a lot after the injury rage, under the premise of not being able to move freely, the huge body has become the biggest burden. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the three Ike and Ling and Lixia who came after him, the phantom beast disappeared with an unwilling wail.

"Ling, what about the measurement?" After the phantom beast disappeared, Ike turned his head to look at Ling, who was holding the force guide and closing his eyes.

“。。。。。。” After a period of silence, Ling opened her eyes, the faint blue light on her body disappeared, shook her head and replied, "Although I can feel that there were some fluctuations in the surrounding space when the real phantom beast disappeared, but this level of fluctuation cannot make the existence of the phantom beast appear in this plane at all, and the surrounding magic power is not chaotic, it should not be the phantom beast with its own strength." ”

"That is to say... On this plateau, is there a narrow room where phantom beasts can haunt it? It's really a thing that makes people laugh. Ike frowned and whispered back, flicking his frowning brow and turning to look at Alyssa, "Anyway, I'll tell the inhabitants of the plateau later, and it's been a long time。。。 See? Alyssa? Looking at Alyssa, who suddenly interrupted the conversation and rushed over to hug him, Ike opened his hand a little helplessly, and didn't know how to do it for a while.

"Are you finally back... Ike was silent for a long time, and an indiscernible voice finally came out of his arms.

“。。。 Sorry Alyssa, I'm late. Gently hugged Alyssa, patted her back, and Ike replied, "Let you go through such a dangerous thing." ”

“。。。 It's not Ike's fault, and everyone, and I, know what's going on on Crossbell. It's just that... Alyssa shook her head, paused for a moment, and then said, "Suddenly this kind of change happens, but I don't have the ability to change it, every time I encounter something, I always think that if Ike is here, there will be no such thing to discover." But... Once Ike is gone, neither the Military Academy nor everyone else can change the outcome... It's so annoying, such a useless self. ”

“。。。 I shoot. ”

"Huh?!" Hurriedly pushing away Ike and his groping hands in front of him, Alyssa looked at Ike with a flushed face and shouted, "You, you, what are you doing!" ”

"I thought I could take advantage of Alyssa's low mood to ask for benefits." Ike looked at his right hand with some unfinished eyes, "Am I making the wrong choice?" ”

"There's no such option!" Alyssa clutched the hem of her skirt behind her and shouted.

"That's a pity." Ike sighed regretfully, and once again stretched out his right hand to grab Alyssa who was dodging, and looked at Alyssa with a solemn expression, "Failure and powerlessness are experienced by everyone." It's not about the experience itself, it's about how to change the outcome after trying and failing. Alyssa, do you want to go through this again? ”

"Of course not!"

"Then let's change, people can succeed later because of failure, besides, it hasn't reached the point of failure yet, if you give up so early, I don't remember teaching students who like to give up so much." Ike replied in a louder voice. "Now is the real beginning of the battle, if you don't want to experience another defeat, cheer up and get back up! Class VII! ”

"Yes!" Subconsciously responded, and Alyssa and Miriam spoke loudly.

"Really, I said such a bunch of demagogic and shameless words as soon as I came, and it's really a shame to Ike you, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to say such shameful words."

The noisy declaration was interrupted by an inopportune leisurely voice, and Lane Fort's former president, Alyssa's grandfather Gunn, looked at the two of them with a teasing look and said, "Hehe, it's really an enviable youth, but will this look a little too hot in front of relatives?" Or have you officially acknowledged the relationship between the two of you? Well, but I don't care at all. ”

"That's not the case!" Alyssa, who was teased by Gunn, once again turned red and stammered in defense, "This, this is because! That's it! I felt a lot of emotion for a while... Anyway, all in all! It has nothing to do with what you think! ”

"That's what she said? How do you feel? Gunn squinted at Ike.

"Hmmm... Sure enough, I was still quite hit, I didn't expect me to be so unbearable. Ike sighed again.

"Huh?! That one! This one! It's not unrelated! It is... This one... Ahh!!hhhhh You two don't play tricks on me! ”

"Because Alyssa is so easy to play tricks on." Miriam answered with his head on his back.

"Even Miriam, too?!"

"Let's stop here." Gunn finally interrupted everyone's ridicule, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he coughed lightly, and Gunn continued to speak, "I think you should have a lot of old things to say, but let's go back to the lake for the time being." After all, it is also possible to check the condition of the surveillance tower from there. ”

"Sure enough... Is the reason you're here because of the surveillance tower, old man? And this plateau anomalous communication... Ike asked, narrowing his eyes.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but from the current situation, nine times out of ten, this is true." Gunn replied, "And judging by what you said, it seems that the scope of this screen seems to be quite extensive. ”

"Well, almost the entire area of the Nolde Plateau has been covered, thanks to him, we have walked a long way on the Nolde Plateau, if it weren't for knowing your residence, old man, and the water source is one of the best places to take refuge, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to meet you." Ike replied.

"It's really a tricky thing, you can't intercept interference without equipment, you can only forcibly destroy or stop it to solve the communication problem, and I'm still worried about manpower, but... Gunn said, looking at Ike and Ling and Lixia behind him, "It seems that the problem of manpower has been solved?" ”

"Just tell me."
